[REQ] Manila 2.1 start menu and/or program tab for Manila 2.5 - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I hope this is the right place to post this. Feel free to remove if this isn't in the correct place.
I was wondering, is there anyone who would be able to look into porting the Manila 2.1 start menu/program tab or both over to Manila 2.5?
I have seem something similar done for the VGA port of Manila 2.5 here (the files are attached at the bottom).
There is also an interesting comment about said tab here.
Is there anyone would could maybe try to get this program tab for work for WVGA Manila 2.5? And also maybe get the start menu working?
Hope someone can do it

Sorry for the bump, but is no one able to do this? Surely all the great chefs/hackers can make something happen

I too want this please.

Lack of Programs Tab on Manila 2.5
I find Manila 2.5 almost unbearable because of the lack of a Programs Tab. The Program (Start Menu) in Windows Mobile 6.5 is absolutely dreadful.
This would be such a welcome improvement.

I'm keeping away from 6.5 all together mainly because of the horrible imo start menu....i might reconsider that if smn ports the start menu to 2.5

would be awesome.

I hear you; a real struggle. One way to bring some relief to this issue is having 4x4 programs on the Home Tab:

Touchflo 3D Contacts

I was wondering if anyone has started a app that has the same type of contacts tab that touchflo 3d is running, if so is there a .cab file and is it possible to make it run with Touchflo 2d?
You can't use the same contacts widget on TF2D. You can create your own using flash and use it with FEWidgets/ThrottleLauncher.. if you want to request the creation of such a widget look for FEWidgets widgets creation thread and post a request there.
So I would be able to implement a flash tab into throttlelauncher but not touchflo 2d....is there any thoughts of someone porting over that option or is there yet an actual manilla touchflo 3d cab ported over, or a rom with that packed into it to be used on other HTC devices?
TF3D was ported but is now still in it's infant stages. Also, it requires a massive amount of power and has a few bugs. you will need a strong device to run it properly.
Could you possibly give me the link to the thread were they ported it and uploaed or where they are talking about it..and also when you say a really fast device are you meaning a top wm6 device or would something like the AT&T tilt be able to run it but very laggy, sorry about all the questions..always hoping to learn more.

Look into the Kaiser ROM development thread, There are a few ROMs with TF3D cooked into them! I have a tilt running the L26 V4 TF3D ROM, and it works great for daily use! Very stable and its eye candy! Check it out! And read everything you can!

Any of the geniuses on here keen to give it a shot? ^^
I had the same problem and was finding it difficult to get easy acess to all my programs without the programs tab, plus i do not like my home screen cluttered. I installed a program called Panoramic Launchpad and it is brilliant. When installed, it launches itself from the topbar start menu and gives you loads of options to configure it how you want it, and since going to the settings tab takes you to the original installed start menu icons, then you have not lost or compromised any of you functionality. grat progam and cheap too

I did see that program yes. It looks nice, but I thought it might be worth a shot to see if anyone here could have a go at getting the Manila 2.1 menu to work on Manila 2.5.
There are a lot of people around with coding/hacking skills to possibly get this to work I feel. I doubt it would be THAT hard to do (sadly, I can't do it, as I can't program at all, more of a hardware person).
Given the program a try. Seems to be ok. But I must admit, the Manila 2.1 start menu/program tab, whatever works, would be a lot better I think.
wm start menu simply sucks, I hate it! i hope somebody can cook the old manila 2.1 start menu.

Depends on what you are running on your phone.
Your question is very vague. If you have the shortcut boxes there you just click the empty box and it pulls up a list.
no i dont have shortcut boxes there!! i have wm6.5 with touchflo3d

Like I said, your question was too vague.
I am running WM 6.5 w/TF3D and have 20 shortcuts there.
I suggest you search for maxcy's Manila themes and get familiar with the different options available so you know what you are asking for.
Shortcut on Home screen depend on the build# of your Manila.
Read lots, the possibilities are endless.

Yes you have touchflo3d but in the 2.1 version of manila.
If you want to have shortcuts in the home page you must change to a rom with manila 2.5
how can i see manila's version?
Go to Settings tab\About Phone\Software Info.
You are likely going to want to flash a custom ROM, assuming you're on the stock one still (If you gave as much info up front as possible before asking, there would be no need to assume).
You really need to start reading about flashing a new ROM.
There are no shortcuts so please read thoroughly.
20 shortcuts in manila 2.1
B&L Group Mod Manila 2.1 as 2.5 with 20 shortcuts
Before install cab, you must install MortScript
It's promising but it's in russian. Any chance to see this app in english?
bugs but its awesome no need for upgrading to 2.5
bugs
well yes first its in russian , second in land scape mode its all gibberish .. the screen become out of place the icons are over each other. also when u change the clock the weather animation covers the analog clock a lil from bottom. also the left key name is wrong and when u pull up the shortcuts they mix with small clock overlapping text. ive used td2 tool 2c for landscape mod.
Developers where are u!!!
isnt there anybody who could modify these cabs n perfect them for manila 2.1 topaz wm6.5 ????
It could be the solution for sence 2.1 users... when it runs ok!
Let's see what will happen here.
on wm 6.1 without TF3D how can i put shortcut on today screen?
I guess you better use SPB Mobile Shell, with or without MrSkip widgets.

Nice but needs to be improved
Programm looks nice although I would rather have 9 icons (3x3).
It is in Russian language, to bad at least English isn't standard.
Hope it will be in English and with less icons soon!
For all who wan't to test, it is uninstallable!

WM6.5/Touchflo ROM with Flip-Clock & Weather ?

Hey Guys - I've poured over these threads and am a bit confused about the versions of HTC touchflo. What are my options, if any, that allow running WM6.5 and getting the flip-clock with weather beneath it? Is this possible? Or is this only touchflo 3d, which hasn't been cooked into a wizard rom?
Or maybe I should be able to change the look of the clock for this touchflo but I haven't been able to find it?
Thanks for any info.

I think what you mean is the HTC home plugin, right? I would say that you could use any 6.5 ROM and install the HTC home plugin to get the features you want (by the way, I just found this in a German ROM somewhere here, check out the "SKYNET ROM v6", post #7- Seems it's working there and should of course work for any English version, too). Good luck

I think it's called "HTC Sense" ?
Thanks for replying Andreas. I did some more searching and I think the name associated with the look I want is "sense" ... i don't see a wizard ROM for that yet. But maybe i'm missing something? I've attached a pic.

hm... well, I don't know this one. But guess what- I'd be interested in this too Sorry I couldn't help. Personally, I don't like the 6.5 default look either and I keep always changing to even the 'old' 6.1 home screen, simply because I have all the information I need on one screen. I prefer this over a fancy look. But the thing you are looking for seems to do the job, too. Let's hope someone can jump in and solve the issue
Good luck,
Andreas
Once i ask cracing why dont use this on a rom.
1- this new touchflo is to big
2- our processor is to slow to process the flip clock, you can imagine...there is a lot of deferents images all the time change.
3- there is still bugs on ported version (maybe now this is not more valid)
Just one more thing, the picture is the 3d version, this one is IMPOSSIBLE to get in a non 3d acceleration device, but there something like that in 2d.
I've run this (the 2D version anyway) on a Wizard, by installing cabs onto a fairly naked 6.5 rom. It's slow, and takes too much memory and storage. It sure is pretty, though.
I think I used an "MSD-Series" rom as the base. I can't remember for sure.
I often try 6.5 but my favorite roms are 6.1. Even there, Manila2D is a hog.
RoryB's latest ExtROM-based Angel rom and TechTeamup's NSN rom are pretty evenly matched as my favorites right now. Both come with M2D. NSN loses points for using an older version, but Angel loses points for requiring tweaks to get the album view and music tabs to work properly.

I also need the same. Anybody there can suggest something
Its New HTC Manila from HTC Mega having Flip-Clock and Weather on home screen. It can be found here.
As it has many images ( for making animation like flip clock ), it makes the device slower. So its only good for newer qvga devices having 400+ mhz CPU speed and 128+ MB RAM or users how use there device rearly.
Best Regards
You can see pictures of a Wizard running Manila2D v2 here:

It realy looks great but as Cracing and n2rjt and boto said: It needs to much RAM and CPU power! And is has no real landscape mode wich is a problem if you use it on a phone with a slide-out-keyboard like the Wizard. I did not only installed the CABs but cooked it into my ROM. I flashed it, tested it and 2 days later I already flashed an other ROM again because it is not usefull at all.

[Q] Animated transitions in windows mobile/sense 2.5?

Hi everibody, so sorry to post a question where it's not allowed but the Q&A section for windows mobile doesn't exist anymore, so I didn't know where to post it.
I am an HD2 owner and for me it's simply perfect with windows mobile, the only thing is that in WM 6.5 and in sense 2.5 there are no smooth and fluid transitions. Don't know if I explained well what I mean. For example in Iphone, android or in any other new OS when I swipe left or right on the screen, the elements move gradually out of the screen and the new one enter gently. In Manila 2.5 no, there is a gap unless you use the manila . Is there a way to make this happen? The same thing when I press the start menu or when I turn the phone in landscape mode, or when I unlock it. I think that the lack of animated transitions make the OS look much older than it is.
Please, I'm asking a last effort to make this system awersome...
as you are using manila 2.5 the nearest to your request is Co0kie Home Tab 2.0. Then you can get in your home tab 7 screens to slide left & right, and 4 levels to slide up & down, and even put some widgets on it.
Other option is MaxSense, but never tried myself. I think you would need to flash a rom with Maxsense as is not provided as .cab
If you wish to try Co0kie 2.0 and need further help post question in the CHT thread.
Thank you for the reply =)
yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.
Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.
For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...
I need viber software for hd2 plz help me
I need viber software for hd2 plz
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly.
You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it.
BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.
